• NEWS: The $12.4 billion toll – The economic cost of preventable disease in Canadian men 

    The Movember Institute of Men’s Health has just released a new report, “The Real Face of Men’s Health”, examining the state of men’s health in Canada, 

    In 2023, five conditions – coronary heart disease (CHD), colorectal cancer, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and suicide – were responsible for the greatest number of years of life lost to ill health among Canadian men.  

    HealthLumen was commissioned to carry out the health economic modelling for this report. Our modelling showed that if all preventable cases of these five conditions had been avoided in men in 2023, Canada could have saved $12.4 billion CAD.
